Tip:

Quit washing your car.

Instead of washing it once a week, wash and *wax* it once a month.

Or at least wax it once in a while.

Your paint will shine, you won't be blowing all kinds of money on washes (or driving your parents' water bill up the wall), and most crucially:

You won't wear your finish out.

I do wax it once a month, but the increased washes have been mainly because of all the salt they have put on the roads to get rid of the snow and ice.

No need to worry about water bill - you don't pay by use over here!

Oh, well then my above post is null and void.

Carry on then.

No you are probably right - at the rate I am going it will probably be down to the bare metal this time next year
